[TowerTalk] US Towers MA-550 and ladders

[WA3GIN]

I also had a crankup mast.  I bolted a piece of angle to the top ladder 
rung. Then installed a large U-bolt around the top section into the angle. 
The kept the ladder rigid and made it easy to get to the mast, etc.

Always work with a buddy as a back-up for safety first but it really help 
reduce the up and down the ladder for dropped bolts, tools, etc.
